The Australian-sourced Ford Territory has just been launched in South Africa. With prices starting just under R310 000, the Territory hopes to attract buyers who traditionally opt for MPVs, large saloons, double-cabs and of course, other brands’ SUVs.
If we started off this review by merely explaining that the new Ford Territory SUV came from Australia, used a straight-six engine with a four-speed auto ‘box and failed to elaborate further, you may be inclined to think that it’s some outdated design that cannot hope to compete with the vast choice of current, modern rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. But you would be gravely mistaken!
Hoedspruit Air-Force base was the starting point for our driving impressions of the new vehicle and a typically well-organized event by the Ford team allowed us a driving mix from high-speed tar sections to “butterflies-in-the-stomach” roller-coaster style gravel and sand. Readers can judge appearance of the vehicle for themselves, but it is nether radical or boring.
